Stunning work, it's an inspiring example of old-school stick & tissue modeling (with a few new twists!). And I really enjoyed the video build log, very well done... more than I'd want to attempt, but I suspect as DiCaprio/Howard Hughes said in The Aviator, "It's the way of the future..."

I've been thinking stick and tissue might be the best way for me to get a large-scale Eindecker (especially given the price of Wingnut Wings kits) and this is aspirational work. Thanks for sharing!

Classic model building!! Very pretty. I would be far too afraid to fly it.

WOW! What a wonderful presentation of a beautifully crafted model. I'll be enjoying your other videos over the weekend.

Do you post on any RC modeling forums, like RCGroups  ( https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/index.php )? If so, I'd like to follow you there as well as on YouTube.
